Isles-ex Palmer signs contract with Wizards

CORPUS CHRISTI - Kevin Palmer will get his shot at being the first Texas A&M-Corpus Christi player to make an NBA roster.

Palmer, after a successful summer league stint with the Washington Wizards, signed a non-guaranteed contract to attend the team’s training camp. Palmer went undrafted — he did not receive an invitation to the NBA Predraft camp — but did get a coveted summer league invite, where he showcased his skills with a 21-point camp finale.

Palmer, who wrapped up his senior season with the Islanders this past March, is the third A&M-Corpus Christi player to join an NBA fall camp, following in the footsteps of Michael Hicks and Brian Hamilton. Palmer was the fourth Islanders player to make an NBA summer-league roster, joining Hicks, Hamilton and Chris Daniels.
